Yamaha BSD1455NJR Snare Drum
Features
Hybird Design Utilizes Copper Pins Embedded in The All Birch Shell
Starting with an all birch, 14 x 5 1/2 inch, 7-ply shell we drove 20 copper pins into the shell's edge to obtain the particular sound that JR desired. Compared to an all-wood shell this unique design delivers a sound that is amazingly tight and focused. The shell is finished with a covering sheet of White Gold.
Special Chrome Plated Zinc Die-Cast Hoops and Small Lugs
The 3mm Zinc Die-Cast Hoops used on the drum produce a powerful attack and sharp decay. Small lugs have been chosen for their minimum lug to shell contact that lets the shell vibrate freely. The special chrome plating used on the hoops and lugs adds visual significance to the overall appearance.
25 Strand Snare and 2.7mm Wide Snare Bed
To get a larger, more sensitive snare sound we added 5 more hi-carbon steel strands to the usual 20 for a 25 strand snare. Also, the snare bed was increased 1.8mm to 2.7mm to inhibit any influence from the sympathetic vibrations produced by surrounding drums.
Newly Designed Remo Heads
The new Remo Emperor Coated heads are dot type heads that have a clear border around that white playing area. Added durability is provided by means of a double dot center.
Strainer
The drum is fitted with our H-type strainer on the release side and G-type stainer on the butt side. Both strainers feature small footprints to provide minimum strainer to shell contact as well as easy operation. The butt side trainer also provides snare tension adjustment.
